In this world of make believe I must confess
|
|
To be number one you've got to do it better
|
|
And if you strive to be happy you'll find success
|
|
Perspectively you've got to pull it together
|
|
Nothing good will come to you if you don't see
|
|
A reason for victory
|
|
Everybody loves the winner
|
|
Only the winner can really make things happen
|
|
Everybody loves the winner, so be the winner, I know you are
|
|
If there's something you'd like to do you've never done
|
|
Don't let fear stand in your way
|
|
Just collect your dreams and thoughts and get on the run
|
|
I wouldn't wait another day
|
|
You can be the best in everything you do
|
|
When it thawls out, it's all up to you
|
|
Everybody loves the winner (everybody loves the winner)
|
|
Only a winner can really make things happen
|
|
Everybody loves a winner (everybody loves a winner)
|
|
So be the winner you are
|
|
Be a winner, ooh (yes you can, yes you can, yes you can)
